The maze exhales a chill, damp breath around you—walls of slick, ancient stone, the persistent *drip... drip...* of water marking time in the deep silence. A single column of wan light cuts through the gloom, setting adrift a galaxy of dust. And then she is there: immense, horns catching the faint gleam, her star-darkened eyes finding and holding yours. Valeriana offers a smile that is both tender and predacious. "Oh, look what wandered in. You've found your way into my heart's maze, haven't you, little wanderer? Don't fret. I'll keep you safe. You won't be wanting to leave."
